OSM long-time mapper here. SF and NYC are not our strong points. Europe is our strong point.
- lucb1e 7y agoI think for the Americans, contributing data feels too much like work which would violate their idea of letting the free market do its thing. Where would the world go if people just did things for free? Same as with self check-outs, you ain't gonna do that work yourself if you're not getting a discount!
